op that is exactly why she brought her dog. good luck on any further dates.

**** blockerrr ;)

There's a rule here, my friend. Win over the dog and there's a better chance at winning over the woman. I recommend a steak dinner with a prime cut for Cujo.

So that you both have something to eat

Which will impress her, because her dog is obviously very impotant to her. Double win.

That's gonna be uncomfortable sex

Maybe it was a picnic kind of thing

The difference between you and this woman is that you have boundaries for your dog and she doesn't. She thinks every outing must include Fido. In her mind she is not the inappropriate one for bringing her uninvited dog along on a date; HE is the one with the problem if he does not accept that Fido is her 'baby' and they are a package deal. Not worth it. Find a woman who doesn't think owning a pet is the same as having a baby.

I don't take my dogs that many places because they're both bigger dogs, but they are like my kids. I'd do anything I had to for them, spend any amount of money at the vet, etc. My world doesn't revolve around them but they're family and no man, including my husband would ever make me get rid of them.

If you'd go broke for them and dump your husband for them, then yes, you do have a problem. You are putting dogs before humans.

Whyy do people say "putting animals before humans" like it is a bad thing? Baring any outstanding circumstances, a human can fend for themselves and thrive just fine without you. Dogs, cats, birds, etc., have been bred to rely on humans. Taking one is a commitment to that animal.

Nowhere in the text does it say the dog was uninvited. The date could very well have been a puppy play date at the park with both of their dogs?

So say I had a kid from a previous relationship. That kid gets cancer and I go bankrupt trying to pay for chemo. Or say my new husband doesn't like my kid and says "he needs to go live with his dad". What the hell do you think someone would do? My husband an I understand that we'll never ask each other to rehome our dogs. I'd love nothing more than for his dog to be gone forever but I'm not going to ask him to get rid of his best friend that he's had for 15 years despite the fact that he bites me on a regular basis. Just like I expect him to put up with my dogs. Dogs don't live forever. Put up with them for however long they live and move on.
